Comfortable but Weird Shelf-Lining & Pin

Comfort:

Durability:

I really like this leotard, but do have one complaint that keeps me from wearing it more often. It's shelf-liner is super short and the pinch in the front is odd. Even though I am small-chested, this leotard offers no support/coverage & the shelf-lining often feels as if it will ride up. However, with that being said, it is one of my more comfortable leotards and is super flattering from the chest down. I also like the cap sleeves, which are a little longer than normal. It is super stretchy and I think that the low pinched back is extremely flattering. It also has higher cut legs which I really like, as I have short legs and the leotard makes my legs look a bit longer (always a plus!). The leg line also makes pointe work very pretty, as your leg looks longer. I recommend this leotard, as long as you have a smaller-chest and are comfortable in thin cotton leotards.
For reference: I am 5'1" and about 100 lbs. I ordered a small, which fit perfectly except for the extremely short shelf-liner.

Weird pinch

I really thought that I would like this leo but the pinch on it was really strange even though I have a small chest. I am very picky with my leos though so besides that I really liked the fabric and it made me look super slim but sadly I'm returning it anyway :(

Absolutely love the fabric!!

I've had this leotard for about a year and the fabric still holds wonderfully. The fabric is soft but firm. The shelf bra holds wonderful (I wear a 34B). You can see no lines what so ever. Unlike shiny fabric, it is not see- through at all. I have a very long torso but this fabric is so stretchy and firm that it fits fine but is a little lower in the front (but since I have a fairly small bust it is fine). So, yes this leotard is a hit with me. I love this material.

I really like Bloch's brand of leotards. I think they make an excellent product! I am 5'8 and weigh 138 lbs and ordered the large, which fits great! I love the cotton/spandex mix and the v-neck pinch front and low back is very flattering, especially for women with long torsos who are slightly taller. The other reviews were definitely right--the cap sleeves were a lot longer than the woman in the picture, but other than that, I am very happy with this product.

Pretty leo!

This leotard is beautiful and very flattering. I have it in black and hunter and I love both. The thing is it doesn't really fit like it does in the picture. The sleeves are longer and not really capped.

I think this leotard is cut beautifully! On me, it's not low at all. My only complaint is that it is a little too wide for me. It doesn't quite cling to my waist so it made me look a little wide, but I just used a safety pin in the back (to make it a little tighter) and it's fine.

Not for longer torsos

This leo is very pretty on the model, but it looks much different if you have a longer torso. I also thought the material was very hot and when you sweat, it stinks pretty bad. But if you have a short torso and longer legs, I would definitely recommend it.

Gorgeous colors

Very flattering leo for petite dancers who still have some curves. I love the hunter green color too! While the silicone elastic does keep the leg-line from riding up, it also heats up and becomes uncomfortably warm at times.
